FAQs
Do I need a primer before using Frenchic Wall Paint?
No, Frenchic Wall Paint is self-priming, meaning you do not need to apply a separate primer. It is designed to adhere directly to most prepared surfaces.
Do I need a topcoat after painting?
No, Frenchic Wall Paint is also self-sealing, so no topcoat is required. The paint provides a durable, finished surface on its own.
How long does it take for the paint to be fully scrubbable?
While the paint is touch dry in approximately 2 hours and recoatable in 4 hours, it requires a full curing period to achieve its maximum hardness and scrubbability, which typically takes 7-14 days.
What is the coverage rate of this paint?
A 2.5L tin of Frenchic Wall Paint covers up to 35m² with a single coat. For best results and deeper colour, two coats are recommended, which will cover approximately 17.5m².
Can I use this paint on furniture?
Yes, this paint is suitable for various surfaces including wooden furniture, kitchen cupboards, and interior woodwork, providing a durable and washable finish.
Is this paint safe for children's rooms?
Yes, the paint is EN71-3 certified, making it safe to use on children's toys and furniture, and it has low VOCs and virtually no odour.
How should I clean the painted surface?
Once fully cured, clean with a soft, damp cloth or sponge. For tougher marks, a mild detergent can be used, but avoid abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, dry, and free from contaminants like grease or dust. Avoid painting over previous incompatible finishes without proper preparation.
Streaky or uneven finish
Stir paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply paint using a good quality brush or roller, working in consistent strokes. Avoid overworking the paint and ensure even application. Consider a second coat for a more uniform appearance.
Colour appears different than expected
Colours can look different in various lighting conditions and against different wall colours. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first. Two coats can deepen the colour's intensity.
Difficulty cleaning marks
Ensure the paint has been fully cured (allow up to 14 days). For fresh marks, wipe gently with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution, testing in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads.
